Mock Turtle Cheesecake

This is one of the first cheesecakes I ever made. It is real easy, and doesn't require a springform pan.

Crust:
1 cup crushed Oreo's
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1 Tbls. butter (melted)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line an 8 or 9 inch round cake pan with foil. Mix all ingredients and press into cake pan and bake for 8 minutes. Let cool.

Filling:
2- 8 oz. cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup whipping cream
2 eggs

Beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and whipping cream. Beat in eggs. Pour over crust, and bake for 34-45 minutes until center sets. Cool to room temperature on a wire rack.

Glaze:
2 oz semi-sweet chocolate squares (chopped)
2 Tbls whipping cream

On low heat, melt chocolate and whipping cream. Stir continuously until smooth. Pour on top of cheesecake and smooth it out to the edges. Store in refrigerator. After chocolate sets, cover with foil or plastic wrap.

Topping:
1 jar Caramel Ice Cream topping
1/2 cups toasted pecans

To toast pecans: set oven to 375 degrees; place pecans on a cookie sheet; cook for 5-7 minutes stirring occasionally. Coarsly chop the pecans and add to the Ice Cream toppings. Drizzle some topping on each piece when ready to serve.
